I cannot take clomid. It is my cryptonite. I have done some really stupid stuff while on clomid. I will not take it again.
I have tamox on hand if needed but will only be using it if my strength goes down considerably. I don't think I'll need it with the combo I have cooked up
TG is right.....I am very estrogen sensitive and wouldn't ever walk into a PCT without an AI. I will taper the letro and start the exemstane. This is bc exemstane is a suicide AI that can be used to avoid estro rebound from stonger AIs like Letro. I know forma is a suicide AI, but I chose exemstane as a preference.
I took the last two days of my cycle off bc of my back. I did hit it hard again today for the last pic and the close of this log
Day LAST
weight 210 (+4) I'll get into this in a bit....
Chest / Abs
225x10, 225x10, 225x10, 225x10 Flat Bench BB, to 125eax5, 115eax4, 105eax3, 95eax5 DB Flat. This super set routine isn't aggrevating my shoulders a bit and is tearing my chest a new one. I like.
I think DB will help (along with weighted dips, rope pulldowns and extensions ) with my triceps and ultimately to a much higher bench max.
Completed 25 min cardio med to high intensity, 300+ cals
Pinned 1 g CJC1295DAC subq, took 5 HCgenerate, 2 phytoserm, 25mg S1 (I'm thinking I'll keep it here for now), .25 ml letro. I think you could say I'm ready for PCT and if I have anything to do with it, I'm going to keep all my muscle. I doubt I will, but I can still hope.

Conclusion
This journey to the dark side has left me with a lot more knowledge about my own limits, determination, motivation, and discipline.
I would run this cycle exactly all over again if given the opportunity (but now I know I am generally tolerant to these compounds). I think pinning is the way to go, but I have to stress having a good routine in place is paramount to a successful cycle. If you are still getting your routine down, diet in check, or struggling to get to the gym 6 days a week. Don't cycle. Wait until you can give it your all.
Just bc I say pinning is the way to go isn't to say that orals don't have thier place in cycles as kick starts or end of cycle cuts, but they do not have near the benefits over the risk as injectables. Injectables can just plain and simple be ran longer. The longer you have mass, the easier it is to keep. The more hormones, the more LBM you can or can't carry around. IGF-LR3 will and can produce muscle your genetics would not have, however, you will still only be able to carry around a certain amount of LBM in relation to the hormone levels you have. All that being said, high hormone levels for longer periods of time, coupled with something like IGF LR3, IMO has the ability to give a person the physique far beyond their "genetic" capabilty.
This is the purpose of cycling, no? Either way, TRT might be the easiet way to go once you get the whole having kids thing out of the way.
Either way, come rain or fukking shine, I will bench my 375, then 400. I declare motherfuking war on my chest

CARBS
I wanted to spend a little time at the end of this log to talk about manipulating your carb intake. This is something I have never tried full force and have been shocked at the possibilities this one little portion of nutrition can have.
Carbs are non-essential nutrients. There is nothing in them that we have to have in order to survive that we can't get from either a fat or protein. They do, however, have thier place in BB and here is my take on them.
This is how carbs effect me and I'm sure they have a little bit different effect on everybody.
I think a lot of guys will sift through this log and think I got real cut bc of the gear I was on. Wrong. I have taken cycle after cycle and even m1t+4ad and never got as lean as I did this time. I eliminated complex carbs all together. This did a few things for me. It kept gains very dry, noticable, and fat melting away. I forced my body to use fat as energy most of the time. That paired with my intense workouts 6 days a week and cardio I was able to cut down to a PR for BF for me

I have been able to sustain this activity level while not on gear, but my diet was off and my gains were stagnant. That was then, this is now

Using carbs to your advantage can have many benefits for a BB. It is an easy way to manipulate your weight by 10-15 lbs within a few days. carb loading and being well hydrated can do this very easily. Why would you want to do this? Heavy DL (+400lbs) and cardio the next day.......carbs would help protect more muscle on a day you are looking to grow more than cut fat. Or working outside, carb loading the day before and eating carbs through out the day can help perserve muscle while eating enough calories is impossible. Long run? Carb up. Wanna win a bet with a friend on losing weight? Carb up (start with some pasta, then cereal, the some whole grain bread), and a ton of water. Then weigh. No carbs and a sh1t ton of cardio to shed the water and in 3 days, you'll have lost 10-15lbs without murdering muscle.
What I'm getting at is I think I could have gained more on this cycle had I played with my carbs more. I don't think straight cycling is the way to go bc it is too planned. I think nutrition has to be flexible to work correctly. Workouts are every changing and so are our bodies. It would seem to reason our diet would need to stay dynamic in variety but static in macros. Tossing in different types of complex carbs will allow for some different taste in our aging menu, but only in moderation.
I was amazed how much I could manipulate my weight by just tweaking a few things in my diet. I eat lots of fruits and veggies with natural sugars in them. I just stay away from grains and it works well for me.
It will be interesting to see how much strength I can hold onto in PCT while cutting down some of this fat. I choose to go up in weight so I could cut a little in PCT. I don't think I'll limit my caloric intake, I'm just seeing how my metaboliism reacts in PCT to determine how I'll trim some of the weight without killing all my strength.
Last Pics Below and then I will start my PCT log. Not sure if that is today or tomorrow.....
THANK YOU TO AM FOR GIVING MY A FORUM TO LOG MY EXPERIENCES AND TO ALL THOSE THAT FOLLOWED AND HELPED ALONG THE WAY, THANK YOU!!!! THIS WAS FUKKIN AWESOME
